"Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters; they saw the deeds of the Lord, his wondrous works in the deep. For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight; they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits' end.* Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven." Psalm 107:23-30
*Instead of, "and were at their wits' end," the Hebrew meant, "and all their wisdom was swallowed up."
We go about our lives, routines, and business, and a storm comes. It sends us up and down, and in directions we didn't even know. We stumble around. We are at our wits' end. All our wisdom has been swallowed up. Then we call on God?
Too often we rely on our wit and wisdom to get us through a storm, when we should be relying on God. Don't make God a last resort. Call on Him sooner, rather then later.
"He made the storm be still...and he brought them to their desired haven." Amen.
